There’s no better place than the pool of the Fasano Hotel in Rio to announce the attractions that will take the Sunset stage at Rock in Rio, whose first day of concerts is scheduled for September 23. As the sun set on Tuesday, Martinho da Vila was having some beer while he listened to his name being announced.
* Bebel Gilberto will do a duet with Sandra de Sá, in honor of Cazuza, Milton Nascimento is jamming with Esperanza Spalding, Jorge Drexler with Tiê, Erasmo Carlos will share the stage with Arnaldo Antunes, and Tom Ze with Mutantes. Mariana Aydar, Cibelle, Faith No More’s Mike Patton and Black City Titans will also perform there.
* Ed Motta, Andreas Kisser, Zeca Baleiro, Tulipa Ruiz and Monobloco, the stage’s other performers, did a jam session with Tiê and Toni Garrido on the spot. It was great. Just ask Thiago Lacerda, who was there with his wife, Vanessa Lóes, who was still full of energy at the end of the party. "I remember the first Rock in Rio, when I watched Queen on TV. They were my idols, like Blitz and Cazuza. Then I went to the second edition, the third … I even went to the one in Portugal. I like those big international festivals. We get many stories from them," said the actor.
